Is he some sort of 70s pornstar?

Dabeull, Maxx’s 2019 3rd place choice.
If he were posting pornstars his user name might be Maxxx.

I thought war on drugs, Marcus king and Kurt vile would be more prominent…
I guess they didn’t really reinvent the wheel though

I could have gone this one… and also close to going with loud bark in 2024 songs of the year.

I was wondering if the new wave of metallic hardcore was mainstream enough that I’d see this band in somebody’s list. Nice work.

This was actually easier than I thought, although I need to listen to a few of these again to refresh my memories.
Except for 2014. For whatever reason, that entire year just seems to be ass.

Yeah, the album is a contender for 2024, lots of strong tunes. Drunk II would be my top song for 2019, one of the few songs in recent years where I just wanna hit play again as soon as it ends.
Good one… forgot about that one. Great album.
On the other hand…
Different strokes for different folks and all that… but if I could give votes for worst albums ever, that would be right up there (right next to Raditude). I can usually find something of merit about a Weezer album, even if it’s just a song or two, but that one… nope. A covers album comprised of virtually xeroed versions of the original. Not for me thanks.
Like I said… different strokes…
There wasn’t a lot of competition.

Some absolute rippers in here, and some difficult years (yep, 2014). not a lot of of musical development across the decade.
